Picture Service At Strand Theatre Last Sunday night at the hour fori the picture service in the Strand The ; ater the rain was coming down in j torrents. Many were afraid the weath er would prove too severe for the peo ple to attend the service, but when the service started at 7.30 the Strand I Theatre was filled with people, there j being less than a dozen seats avail able. The preacher last Sunday night was Rev. C. O. Pardo, who preached on "Partnership With God." He brought' out the fact that in every undertak | ing of life man is dependent on C.mfj and on the natural deposits Goil has placed in the world. He urged his lis ttners to form a close relationship with God by faith in His Son, Christ. To let every life be a God-directed one. Mrs. J. S. Rhodes and Mr. Pardo .sang, for an offeratory, "I heard the voice of Jesus." The voices of the singers blended beautifully, and the (iuet was very much enjoyed. The picture was "God's Enemy," and was the most forceful presentation of the history of God's people and the evil influence of Satan and the helpful influence of Christ ever presented in Williamston. Some over three hun dred persons saw this picture, and it is safe to say that everyone who was fortunate enough to see it has a bet ter idea of the true themeof Biblical history and God's desire for mankind than they had before. Next Sunday, October 26th, at 7..'i0, at the Strand Theater, the preacher will be Rev. A. J. Manning, pastor of the Christian church. The usual ser ■ vice of the Christian church will be held with the Bible lesson and hymns flashed on the screen. The subject of the picture is "Lest We Forget," a six-reel feature picture that will please all who see it. The public is advised that there IK no charge for admission, but everyone is requested to make a large free wifl offering to cover the expense of the service. Children under 12 years of age not admitted unless with older persons. No one admitted after 7.45. Begin Meeting In Jamesville Snuday Rev. L. L.

These two words are the good | _n«w& of the -gospel. - God not only forgives our trans gressions and sfns nut He-remember* ' f» them no more against us.

Hecoxui: When God forgives and for. gets our sins, there is no longer any responsibility for those ' forgiven sin; left on the believer. From "the moment "wnefi the ntnm"~ - in repentance, faith, and trust calls upon God for pardon and forgive ness, he is "a new creature" in Christ Jesus. All sins forgiven, all sins for gotten. A clean record, a new oppor tuiiity for everyone who conie»-U God in the faith and trust of His Ron.. Third: At the judgment, the forgjv-1 en sins are not recorded.
